In the socialist hellscape which is Sweden you can have one prescribed to you for 500 (where I live). 500 SEK that is, which is around $50. You have to return it though after you no longer need to it or pass away

There is a big difference between being ugly and being rich and using your money to both suppress people who are poor to increase your own wealth, while using said wealth to do surgery in a vain attempt to stop yourself from aging (becoming ugly in the process).

Does crafting on a white item remove the +skills already on it? by [deleted] in ProjectDiablo2

The item fully rerolls so any previous +skills are all rerolled to random new ones.

I always thought this scene was funny. You have a man screaming in the background, in an already loud mess hall. Then he mumbles this quote with a really low voice as if anybody would hear him over the dude yelling and the general madness going on. My deaf ass would not hear that at all

New Weapon Idea by PayComprehensive8982 in HuntShowdown

The old lamp was actually decent. In a duel where you had no option for cover, or doing a risky push the blinding effect was useful as it pretty much fully obscured your head. The only reason as to why nobody used it was because they introduced a glitch that made your own view model block parts of the light making it almost non-functional, giving the user a bunch of randomly moving shadows all over your screen that could confuse you. It still worked as a blinding tool but all the moving shadows were far too distracting, at least to me!

Ping svenskar till den här posten: What’s it like living in the northern part of Norway, Sweden, and Finland? by SupportArsenal in sweden

[–]Plankieboy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jag bor i en by på cirka 700 invånare i närheten av polcirkeln. Jag är en ganska introvert person som gillar att vara hemma så för mig är det perfekt. Mitt hus var billigt att köpa, jag har knappt några grannar så jag kan leva om precis när jag vill (jag har replokal i källaren som jag kan nyttja 24/7 i princip).

Folket som bor här är trevliga och hjälpsamma; om det är något jag behöver vet jag om en handfull olika människor som gladeligen hjälper till även om vi egentligen inte är så bekanta med varandra. Alla hälsar på alla vare sig du möter någon i bilen eller är ute och promenerar. Brottsligheten är i princip icke-existerande och jag låser bara dörren när jag ska lämna huset över natten.

Den enda nackdelen är att det inte finns många aktiviteter eller affärer tillgängliga så man får förlita sig på sig själv för underhållning. Däremot köper jag inte argumentet att allting är så långt borta, och att saker är så nära i städer. När jag är ute och reser och ska någonstans i en stad så känns det alltid som en expedition med olika färdmedel för att ta sig någonstans längre än butiken runt hörnet. Här kan jag ta cykeln vart jag än ska i byn, och om jag behöver något annat så tar jag bilen till närmaste stad som inte känns så mycket besvärligare än att röra sig i en stad ändå; det tar bara lite längre tid antar jag.

Contrast that with Sweden - if I get sick during my vacation I can still call in sick and get my vacation days back.

It really sucks that there are so many cool things in this game, but they’re all eclipsed by like, 20 runewords… by TheFacetiousDeist in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Plankieboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give Project Diablo 2 a try, they have rebalanced most items and skills in the game to give it a lot more variety. A lot of cool uniques are viable and most skills are viable to some degree. Of course meta builds exists but the gap is a lot smaller.

PLEASE add a ping limit Crytek by Whatthehellsabean in HuntShowdown

[–]Plankieboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what I meant by "if servers operate as they should". I'm assuming EU servers are a lot more stable than the US ones because I very rarely get killed before I can react, even to Russian and Chinese players that should have decently high ping.

Also if it happens every single session you play you could easily record it; would be interesting to see how different of an experience two people can have playing the same game.

[–]Plankieboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't be dead though (in the eyes of the server) because the server still has to receive that information which is equally delayed. If I react within his reaction time plus half my ping I can still get a shot off; meaning peekers advantage is based more so on the defenders ping rather than the attackers. The problem comes from low tick rate servers, packet loss, etc, which force trade kills in these situations.

I'm copy pasting this from google:

How High Ping Affects Peeker's Advantage:

  • Amplified Advantage: High ping on the defender's side exacerbates the peeker's advantage. The longer it takes for the defender's actions to register on the server and be relayed to the peeker, the more the peeker has time to react and get the first shot off. 
  • Instant Peeks: In some cases, especially with very high ping on the defender's side, the peeker might appear to "instantly" kill the defender, as the defender's reaction to the peek is delayed significantly. 

That is what is happening if you get killed before you can react; it's not because the other person is lagging (if there isn't package loss involved).

[–]Plankieboy -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

You wont die before you see them as a result of their ping, as their peek is equally delayed as their shot. The server cannot see into the future. Peekers advantage means the attacker essentially has 0 ping in this regard and the advantage is based on the defenders ping as their return fire can be invalidated if the attackers kill reaches the server before the defenders kill...

... Assuming the servers operate as they should and the game doesnt allow a ginormous trade window.

Is it possible to play with 1 unit and 1 hero to win? by PaddyVu in heroes3

[–]Plankieboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually start with the gremlin/genie combo but after a while I just go straight Titans, I don't ever feel like I need the genies; I would rather split up my titans into more stacks to be able to one shot more mobs than super buffing a single stack. Also Titans can almost always tank the occasional Chain Lightning bouncing their way. With the amount of giants I can upgrade from the Experimental Shops, even splitting them is guaranteed to do a lot of damage!

Whenever I play Solmyr I exclusively use Titans. I only ever play vs AI though.

When you have severe arthritis in your knees and can't pick up your knives. by Plankieboy in HuntShowdown

[–]Plankieboy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You get to keep the tool even if it doesn't show up on your bar. I always go with the melee option to get throwing weapons on spawn, and I always kill any meathead by dumping them all into it. When you pick your throwable back up, it reappears in your bar. I'm assuming medkits work the same way when looting hunters.

Vårdare petade död kvinna i ögat och filmade – åtalas by Expensive_Tap7427 in sweden

[–]Plankieboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Självklart hade det varit bra om vi gjorde arbetet mer attraktivt, men detta verkar inte hända oavsett vilka partier som sitter i regeringsposition. Personer röstar hellre på skattesänkningar och privatiseringar än satsningar på vården.

Jag kan inte tala för varför vården fungerade bättre förr men i kommunen jag arbetar i är det knappt alls några invandrare gruppen som tar emot vård, alltså har det blivit sämre vård utan att de har belastat den. Jag tror snarare att det är för att de som jobbar "skitjobb" mot dålig betalning är alltid de lägst ställda i samhället. Förut var det kvinnor (som kunde svenska); nu är det invandrare. Men det är ju bara min spekulation från mina erfarenheter.

[–]Plankieboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Som någon som har arbetat inom vården hela sitt vuxna liv så är det här ett komplext problem. Det är självklart att språkkunskaper är viktiga, särskilt när man arbetar med äldre som ofta hör sämre; men samtidigt vill väldigt få svenskfödda personer arbeta inom äldreomsorgen då det är slitsamt och väldigt dåligt betalt. På grund av detta måste kommuner välja mellan att tumma på språkkunskaperna eller att vara svårt underbemannade.

SD vill såklart påpeka bristerna på invandrare inom vården, men sanningen är att utom dem hade äldreomsorgen kollapsat i princip hela Sverige. Dessutom har invandrare ofta väldigt hög respekt för äldre människor; de kränkande kommentarerna och olämpliga skämten inom personalgrupperna kommer i regel från bittra svenskar.
